If she's a spark and they are the review patches that go under the jewels anyway, then you can just punch the jewel thing through the patch and hook it up to the vest. No sewing required to keep it in place.

This is very true! The same principle for iron on patches as stated on this site. http://www.irononpatches.info

If you can't or don't want to sew, check your yellow pages for a BSA scout shop (or go to scoutstuff.org). They sell something called "badge magic" that will keep those badges on tight. I have had to remove badges that had been put on with badge magic a couple years prior. They were still adhered tight enough it was a struggle to rip them off, and sometimes the badge doesn't survive the removal. Removal will leave dried glue on the shirt, and it may make it difficult to pass down the shirt/vest to another kid.

Badge magic works, I used super glue before that. Hot glue gun might have been better but super glue worked OK. It looked a bit weird from the inside with super glue but fine otherwise and so easy! I don't really like to sew, if you can't tell...

We started using Badge Magic this year (my 29th year in Awana) and wonder WHY they didn't invent this stuff before? Now we don't even send the badge home (it doesn't always come back)- we just attach it in clubs. I have my 4th child in the program and am thrilled that I will not have to sew any more badges!!!
